r/AskChemistry is a subreddit with 33k members. Its distinguishing qualities are that the community is large in size, and has high activity.
We are chemists and scientists who help demystify molecular behavior and apply discipline to naughty, wayward reactions, with a dash of wit & humor.
From basic principles to advanced topics, we welcome discussion of all levels of chemistry & related fields (eg. pharmacology, biology, physics).
Share links, images, and citations to enhance discussions.
Expect science-fueled answers, colorful discussion, and perhaps a touch of electron-bullying.
